Good luck.

Answer 2

I assume you are using a third party mail server software, if so you have to disable relaying other domains which basically means no outgoing mail only internal mail will work. If you are using Microsoft's SMTP server you can disable it temporarily by stopping the service, this issue tough to prevent, either way if it continues your ISP will block the port

Answer 3

Block port 25 on your internet connection!
